There are three cycle routes from which to choose - a three hour leisure ride (including cafe stops), a demanding all day epic, or something in between - all through our wonderful North Somerset countryside. Either just enjoy the ride or use it to get sponsorship from your friends and family to raise money for your favourite charity.
All of the rides start and finish at the Scotch Horn Leisure Centre in Nailsea. Car parking is available at or close to the Scotch Horn Leisure Centre.
Please note that the event is for fun only, is not competitive and will not be timed.
